The airport felt like a hive of hurried activity, but for David, it was just the preamble. He was meeting his father, whom he had not seen for five years, at the airport. He pictured his father's face, etched with wrinkles of time and love. The delay felt like a gentle push, a chance to gather his thoughts, an unexpected gift of time.

He wandered over to the window, watching planes land and take off. He couldn't wait to hear his father's voice, to hear the stories of his life. He pictured their reunion, a hug, a smile, a shared meal. Another announcement, the delay extended. He chuckled, a soft sound. No matter.

He pulled out his father's favorite snacks from his backpack, a selection of sweets and chocolates. He felt a smile tug at his lips. They would have a good time together. Soon. The anticipation was palpable, a warm glow that spread through him.
